Kind of ironic that the photo has the word "weak" and a photo of Gibbs and his lovely hairdo...

Also has the long sleeves on, the ponytail and defensive body language trying to back away from Clarry... yep good choice for the photo :P

Clarry is a champ and doesn't take sh*t from anyone. If these things were causing him to lose focus and effecting his football it would be different, but they're not. He was close to BOG yesterday.

    It's easy to forget that Clarry is still only a 19 (20?) year old kid. The guy called him a weak [censored]. As a young fella trying to play the game it's a bit hard not to take it to heart. I bet that fat moron feels tough picking on a young kid from the sidelines.

    I think the club will do the right thing to do all they can to protect Clarry from the media clowns and move on from the non-issue.

    Yeah mate. Some fat ugly deranged moronic Blues supporter abused and threatened Clayton Oliver over the fence and Clayton said something back to him. Now Oliver is being made to look like the villain again, not the f*ckwit who abused a 19 year old from the safety of the stands.

    Hope the club defend him and then move on. Let his football continue to do the talking. He's been phenomenal this year. This might be the best 2nd year from a player since Chris Judd! That should be he headline right there!

    Been waiting a long time for the day we were feared and hated rather than scorned and pitied.

     

    Carry on, Clarry

    how is this even an issue? a bit of back chat to a idiotic fan. the club will teach the kid not to bother and we move on

    The media really have a hard-on for us at the moment and these "discipline issues" at the club. love how Goody is sticking up for Clayton and the club. 

    how about writing an article on the win and what it means FFS! very likely we play finals because of yesterday

    it doesn't fit this fortnights narrative...

    Ha Ha. The last time this happened at the G, it was the Freo game in the last minute of game and a melbourne cheer squad member (allegedly) called the goal umpire a silly old duffa. what do you know, security in all their pomp were down in a flash like the cavalry pin-pointing the alleged name caller. players are entitled to protection from abusive commentary as well as officialdom, even if they are wearing the red and blue.

    I dont watch any of the footy shows as AFL personalities are unbearable at the best of time, but Im sure they will be talking about this non-story all week.

    I have worried about Oliver's propensity to get baited from others since he was drafted, since his hilarious Facebook commenting on a post mentioning him. He has continued doing it, which is unusual among professional players. He's not bad at it, but I was worried, since my own experience with such players is that they can be easily manipulated into performing poorly and stupidly. 

    However, his form has been very consistent, regardless of what he is or isn't doing and regardless of what the opposition do to him. As such, I'm far less worried. When he plays he apparently just lives in the moment and plays footy.

    It was another week of controversy for the Dees, with Clayton Oliver getting into a verbal spat with a Carlton fan. Apparently, Oliver threatened the fan but let’s keep it in perspective; it’s not like he threw an imaginary spear at him.

    Plus, no matter the circumstances, you’re always going to side with the bloke arguing with a Blues fan.

    Just another comment from just another peanut who doesn't know what happened, Dazz. Doesn't matter if he shares a surname or parents with a player on our list, he's as clueless as the rest. Don't stress.

    Nasher, did you read the last line?

    I love the fact Clarry is pissing so many people off (whilst maintaining elite performances weekly)

    Keep it coming, Clarry!

    Supposedly as per twitter.

     

    From the SEN article:

    Former St Kilda and North Melbourne on baller Nick Dal Santo advised Oliver to ignore the abuse in the future.

    “Unless its racist, just cop your right whack and move on, there is nothing you can do about it and there is nothing positive that can come from it, what he (Oliver) could possibly do that will make that situation any better.”

    yeah-nah..

    What "right whack" is Dal referring to?

    Last year we got a "thumbs up" from Jarrad Waite when he kicked a goal after my wife yelled out something rather unbecoming (and unexpected since she's not normally in to footy at all) at Bellerive. Players interact with hecklers in the crowd all the time, and absolutely nothing gets said - sometimes it's all part of the fun.

    Something just then on SEN about the Afl investigating the incident?...Its surely not the first time a player has said something back over the fence is it?? ....I think even earlier this year some Demon players I think all 3 said something back over the fence at the end of a game didnt they?? Such a non incident.....FMD.

    Like anything, there's always different levels of outcome. I think we need to remember that and just comparing to racist vs everything else is narrow-minded.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
